History

In July 1990, DPR Construction was co-founded in Redwood City, California, by Doug Woods, Peter Nosler and Ron Davidowski (the D, the P and the R) with $750,000 of pooled resources. By the end of its first year, DPR had 10 employees. [3] Among the company's earliest projects were a six-month, $4.5 million tenant-improvement project for Argo Systems in Sunnyvale, California, which was followed by a $43 million wafer fabrication project for Rockwell International in Los Angeles, California. [4]

In 1992, DPR was awarded the Terraces skilled nursing facility. [5] In 1994, DPR Construction was awarded a $43 million semiconductor fabrication plant in Los Angeles, California, for Rockwell International. [6] Many projects followed building information modeling (BIM) and sustainable construction.[ citation needed ]

In 1999, a year before the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) launched its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program, [7] DPR was awarded its first green project: a 110,000-sq.-ft. campus for Aspect Communications. [8] Designed by William McDonough + Partners [9] and Form4 Architects [10] and completed in 2001, with the headquarters in San Jose, California. [11] [12]

In 2003, DPR's Sacramento regional office became the first privately owned LEED-certified building in California's Central Valley. [13] [14] In 2010, DPR's San Diego regional office became the first commercial building to achieve both LEED-NC Platinum and net-zero energy status in San Diego. [15]

In April 2013, DPR acquired Atlanta-based Hardin Construction Company LLC. [16] The following month, DPR's LEED-NC Platinum Phoenix regional office became the largest building in the world to achieve Net-Zero Energy Building certification from the International Living Future Institute's Living Building Challenge. [17] [18] Later that year, in October, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation Corporate Headquarters built by DPR achieved Net-Zero Energy Building certification from the International Living Future Institute's Living Building Challenge. [19]

In 2014, DPR's San Francisco regional office became the city's first net-zero-energy-designed office building. [20] [21]
